Disney has hiked prices and laid off hundreds of workers this year.
Yet Disney paid its CEO $41B in 2024. It just reported a 36% increase in net profits for parks and streaming. And it plans to double stock buybacks next year.
Remember this as Disney turns to AI.

There's a Hill bubble narrative, posing as savvy realism, in treating impeachment as some radioactive poison and so Democrats must squash any talk of it. But there's zero evidence for that. No polls back it up, nor recent history. It's all just pundit-brained conventional wisdom eating its own tail.

Apparently no one told Sec. Noem that immigrants with green cards can serve in the military and be deported afterwards if they are convicted of a removable offense.
Every admin has deported veterans (drug crimes the most common reason), although the Biden admin made that harder.
